Hello Ladies,  Well once again I have this feeling that AF will be here on fri. It just kinda feels like she is coming..  Im not sure if I should do another round of Gonal-f. We did not get to do IUI this month. I wonder if my RE will let me go ahead and do IVF instead of doing another round of the Gonal-f.. I really was hoping for a BFP this month , but I dont think it's going to happen.. I know I am Debbie Downer, and I apologize for that. It just feels like we are wasting money on this.. Mary....:)

Mary just an FYI.....Gonel - F is also used for IVF although you would probably need like 2-3 more depending on dosage.  
Good Luck!!

Well I did talk to the RE nurse this morning . She said it is to early to tell through a HPT to know if your pregnant.. I do have one more Gonal-f pen left to use that was given to me for free. She said that if your not pregnant this month go ahead and try the Gonal-f again this month and see what happens . If your not then we will talk about if your a good candidate for IVF. I did do a HPT this monrning and it was neg, but I was glad to here that  it was to soon to tell through urine.....: Mary...:)

Don't give up.  I felt the same way you do each time I got pregnant.  I would think for sure AF was going to show up and I ended up getting a BFP.  

I say don't give up until the AF shows.

I know exactly how you feel, except I can't afford to do anything like IUI or IVF. My baby dreams are simply in GOD'S hands. This time around I gave up completely and I've had very little light pink spotting and a couple days of brownish discharge. I know sometimes that is a sign of pregnancy but I refuse to take a test anymore. I can't handle the negatives. My cycle was back to normal for about 3 months, then I skipped February, and now haven't had a period since April 2nd I think. I lost track. I am still ovulating according to OPK's but still nothing. My doctor tells me it is NOT menopause so I don't know, I guess it just isn't meant to be. Now I am Dawn Downer too...I will keep praying for you and I say, if you still have some money to do it, Dont' Give Up!!!!! If I had it I would. I can afford to have another baby, but I can't afford to pay to make one. If I did that, then I wouldn't have the money to raise it. Best of luck to you and SSBD!!!!

Mary,
Hang in there!  My AF arrived a few days ago, so I know how you feel.  I was pretty sure it was on the way, so I wasn't surprised when it arrived.  If this is not your cycle, then next cycle!  Try to stay positive :-)

Are you taking any vitamins? I am taking Vitex and Macaroot this cycle and baby aspirin and Vitamin B12 and B50 to help.   I am going to see RE nurse June 14, the day before my 41 birthday!  I was hoping to be pregnant by 41, so I am bummed, but hopefully soon for all of us.

Don't give up yet! The month I found out I was pregnant with Cruz, I swore my period was coming. I had horrible cramps, I was irritable....you name it! Well you know how the story ended!

I know it is hard to keep investing time and money but if you want it bad enough then nothing will stand in your way! Follow your heart and your dreams!
